Never leave reviews, but I had to . This Food truck was at mt. Peter today and was the only vendor for food . The jerk mac and cheese was soo cold . The fries were cold also . They said they didn’t have beef patty’s and I said I would take a chicken patty …. Guess what I got? A beef patty . Disappointed to say the least . Also not friendly at all

Ate at their food truck at Pennings Orchard. Ordered a jerk chicken sandwich and jerk Mac and cheese. Half of the sandwich was literally just a roll, no chicken. The other half was maybe an ounce of relatively flavorless chicken with no sauce. The Mac and cheese had essentially no cheese, was cold, and had little flavor. Boo.

Ordered lunch from 876 Jerk today. It was Splendid indeed. People are raving about their Oxtails and I see why!! I had the Oxtail & Curried Goat and the meat was falling off the bone! Try 876 Jerk, you won't be disappointed.

Ok, so this review is long…….. overdue where do I start; the goat head soup is out of this world, perfection of flavors, just enough spice that my picky 11 and 6 yr daughters love it. It’s a must try!

first time eating here! i was hungry after a long day of work and decided to give this place a shot. i ordered jerk chicken w rice and peas (oxtail gravy) and plantain, everything was hot and ready within 5 minutes. lady at the desk was kind and soft-spoken, she was a great help. the plate was HEAVY. very generous portion of food for only around 17$. got the food home and it was delicious. nothing left on my plate but the bones! 🦴 will definitely come here again. only “negative” thing ill say was the chicken was not as spicy as some other places ive had, i was expecting a bit more heat (just my opinion). BUT overall great experience! thank you guys for the excellent food and service 🤝 easy 8/10.

Small restaurant with only barstool seating (which isn't a bad thing but just be aware of that). The service was good as the order was taken fast and food came out fast. I ordered two jerk chicken sandwiches with fries and a soda for a total of about $37.
Unfortunately, the value just didn't add up. Both sandwiches had very little chicken in it to the point where I had to rip pieces of bread off from the sandwich so that I didn't have to eat just bread in some bites. Also the bread used for the bun was just your typical bread from your local supermarket. I wouldn't have minded that if it weren't for the lack of chicken I suppose.
The jerk chicken I did have tasted great and I liked how crunchy the fries were and the amount of fries given. I also liked the sauce provided. I just wish we got more chicken in the sandwich for that price. If I wasn't so hungry I would of provided a picture.
Long story short: Food taste good but amount of food for the price is bad.

This an amazing authentic Jamaican restaurant owned and operated by Jamaican people and staff.
My favorite is the curry chicken with rice and peas. I love the rice because it is rich in coconut milk which is truest to Jamaican flavors. The curry chicken always has some nice pieces of Irish potato which often if left out of curry at other places.
However my favorite menu item is their festival. When I asked the owner she said she developed the recipe over several years.
If you are lucky you may also find them at a local even with their food truck serving oxtail rata pasta and jerk chicken. All are very good choices check them out.

One of the best spots for authentic Jamaican food. Always a warm and welcoming vibe. My favorite dish is the jerk chicken pasta. A must-try!

And You have to call place an order before picking up ok cool so I got the jerk Rasta pasta THERE ARE SO MUCH BONES IN THE PASTA like I never ate PASTA WITH BONES .. JUST STRIP THE CHICKEN PROPERLY . Man bad experience . Need new chef and ownership bring light to a Jamaican spot especially when it’s the only one in the neighborhood

I recently had the pleasure of dining at 876 Jerk, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! As someone just passing through the area, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality.
I had the oxtail with rice and peas, and it was absolutely delicious tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I also had the chance to meet the owner, she was incredibly kind and took the time to patiently explain the menu to me, ensuring I ordered something I would truly enjoy.
Even though I was just passing through, 876 Jerk has definitely earned a spot on my must visit list whenever I’m in the area again. Highly recommended!
